Official results of the Mukachevo election should be invalidated[04/05/2004]

The Bureau of the Congress has approved the report on the observation of the repeat mayoral election, held in Mukachevo (Ukraine) on 18 April. According to the report, undue interference from higher level authorities, including the use of law-enforcement bodies and unidentified gangs of criminals, discredited the electoral process. There was a large-scale fraud during the final tabulation of the votes. The Congress called on the Ukrainian authorities to invalidate the official results published after the election, to launch an investigation into electoral fraud and to bring those responsible to court.
